It’s never too late for a sequel. Word on the web was that when the production of West Is West was in works, it was delayed, deemed ‘fairly unnecessary’ because of the eleven year gap, and may just as well be a sequel flop like many other original hits have suffered from. It isn’t the…
Exploitation films are an acquired taste. Much like fermented tofu, you either love it or find the very idea disgusting (most people fall into the latter category).
